Heading over for the classic via Chimay and back via classic remise as I missed them on previous trips.

Will post pics over the weekend.
 
What train are you on?

I'm on the 10:20 and thinking Chimay might be a good idea.

I made it that far on my last foray into Belgium and it was good.

Maybe see you there
 
Hi Steve.

Sorry set off at 5:30. Shuttle 8.20 delayed to 8.50 lots and lots of cracking cars at the terminal.

Now 13:38 local and at Chimay, so same route terry used last year. That little diversion is still in the cobbled village !

Will pm my cell number.. Plan is to leave here 14:15 ish to get to hotel then track in time for the porsche 2.l cup at 7pm :thumb:

Looking forward to your updates.

Some great roads today👍Drove a couple twice and got lost. Copilot chucked the map and admitted forgetting glasses which does not help :frustrated: didn't make track today so updates tomorrow.
 
I know it's not a 'classic" yet but I wants it :thumb:

Phone died so final post very late. The track club session was epic. Felt like we were in a lemans race! Huge verity of Cars from true classics like mg/Tvr/Datsun280 to Gt3Rs and Ferrari 458/488.

Must have been near 40 Cars on track and the overtaking started before the pace car peeled off at the end of the first lap. Felt a bit wacky racers to start but then settled into a groove.

Today's formal racing was stunning with the Euro Cars a true highlight. The Silk Cut Jaguars were amazing.

Watching the porsche 2.0l cup from the car park behind tribune it looked like they were drifting raidillon. Utterly mesmerising :thumb:
 
Le AIB girlies.

Much better club laps today. Full sun, 50% less cars and lots of space.

Final pic. Grid of the 2.0l super cup. Great racing :thumb: only 10min rain all weekend 8) 8)

This was taken as the thunder clouds rolled in over Raidillon as the final race was coming to its climax. As we drove up the winding roads out of spa those clouds dumped what felt like years worth of rain and mahoosive hailstones. Captures the atmosphere of spa for me.

Thanks to Spa Classic for a great weekend and thanks to Longers for an epic trip. Monaco/Spa/Düsseldorf done!
